This federal civil servant was on a business trip (what kind of business....?) when she met some guy and went back to her room for some bunga bunga.
Lamp fell, hit her on the head. So she went after workman's comp.
The insurance company said, Uhhhh no, we don't think so. The insurance company's administrative tribunal agreed that her injuries were not suffered in the course of her employment, So....no.
She then took them to court.
But......the lower court agreed with her! That having sex was certainly in the course of her employment with the government. (Maybe the UC needs to go back to work. For the Australian government, eh mate?)
The insurance company then appealed to a higher court. They said - in effect -you betcha that's part of the job. Boing, boing. Get the job application out!
The insurance company then appealed to the Aussie's highest court.
And finally, common sense prevailed. The court said "the woman’s employer did not induce or encourage her to participate in the sex." So.....no soup for you.
So this has taken six years to get through the courts. And to top it all off, the whole time she's been off work on disability. For depression.
Why is she depressed? I don't know. Maybe her husband read about the case in the paper?
But I do know that with our courts, she'd be at right home here in Canada. No one's guilty of anything here.
